A large, multipurpose hull, the Nebula is a compact design that benefits from its versatility. Built with a detachable
upper mission pod, the Nebula-class ships can be re-equipped with different pods depending on their intended missions.
Most Nebula-class vessels carry a standard pod carrying additional weaponry for ship support, but other variants are known
to carry such things as extra sensor equipment and cargo bays, usually for long range expeditions.

Though less powerful than the Galaxy Command Ship, the Nebula Cruiser is more plentiful both because of their reduced
construction costs and the ease of maintenance facilitated by the removable mission module. Nebula cruisers are continually
called upon to serve in roles that are inappropriate for expensive and rare Galaxies (and now Sovereigns) and cannot be filled
by other ships such as Excelsior Cruisers.

The Nebula is one ship that jumps around, and even in canon representations their power levels seem to fluctuate. Originally
I only had one base hull for the Nebula that was a "one size fits all" type of ship with weapons and ELINT all in one package.
After reading comments on the B5W Forums I decided that it would be best to separate the two iterations. So now there is
the weapons heavy cruiser as the standard hull and the lighter explorer/ELINT variant. I may in the future also add a full cargo
variant, though that is a low priority.
